Nurse-Led Interventions Improve Self-Management Behaviours and Self-Efficacy in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes
A systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by researchers from Beihua University found that nurse-led interventions significantly improved self-management behaviours and self-efficacy in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study, published in the International Journal of Nursing Practice, aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nurse-led self-management interventions on self-management behaviours and self-efficacy in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The meta-analysis of 21 articles revealed that nurse-led interventions had a substantial effect on self-management behaviours, with intelligent interventions using online measures having the most significant impact. The study also found that a 3-month intervention duration was optimal for enhancing self-management behaviours and self-efficacy.
